Pac/Marg: Uppercuts, who else is worried?

[Phil Ivey]

The only way I see Pac losing is if his stamina doesn't hold up like Cotto. Pac will eat some uppercuts but not like Cotto did. Margarito will put a lot of pressure but he won't catch him.

People keep saying it's Marg's size that is his main asset against Pac and that he's too slow to really get to Pac, easy win for Pac right?

I don't think so, in Pac's last two fights he's shown he's open to uppercuts straight up the middle of his guard. Just watching how Marg throws these uppercuts, I'm kinda worried.... If Marg lands too many of these, and he will land a few.... I don't think Manny could take too many uppercuts from someone with the leverage in height and arm length that Margarito has.

Anyone else worried?

I dont know whats the deal with PAC, the only time I see PAC getting tag by uppercuts is when he's doing the earmuff. Is he getting tired and trying to rest? Is PAC stamina is not what it used to be?

If Margarito can take Pacquiao's early onslaught, Pacquiao could be in a bit of trouble when he slows down later in the fight. Margarito has got brilliant stamina and can throw punches all day.

slows down when? you're talking about a dude who threw more than 1,200 punches in his last fight

how many did margo threw at garcia or mosley?

[fdotorres]

btw, i don't understand why people are talking about today's margo as he was the same as when he fought cotto

he ain't got no more magic wraps

he got his chin cracked and KO'd by a faded shane

he showed "new version" against garcia

cotto's margarito would do weel against pac, but lose a UD

today's margo will get destroyed and stopped, and i'm willing to take bets

His brilliant stamina didnt do **** for him when Sugar Shane ****d his ass infron of 20,000+ fans at the Staples Center Jan 24, 2009...

He's not but you never know if that time off healed that chin.

Then why is Roach concerned for his "power" then?

Like I mentioned earlier, the rest might of helped. One way to find out.

The Cotto AND Margs that fought each other might of beaten Pac to be honest but they aren't 100% themselves any more.

I would but if you could see I'm full. I'm betting with my heart.

roach is promoting the fight

what's he supposed to say? we have the best fighter p4p fighting a faded brawler?

he's marketing the fight, so is arum. the only way to do that is to say that pac isn't training properly and that margo is the biggest threat ever

EDIT: lol i know, i have that bet with you

[FLYBOY]

You don't think Freddie Roach knows that? Freddie will train Pac well for the uppercuts and Pacroid will TKO Margracheato.

margarito needs to get close to throw and land those uppercuts. if pac will fight him like he fought dela hoya, using the full lenth of the ring darting in with his fast combinations then stepping out of margarito's reach, it will be harder for margarito to launch his own offensive attacks. also, if margarito is getting hit his offensive rhythm gets derailed too. margarito needs to set up his offense and most of the time he start it off with a weak ass jab like some sort of measuring stick. with pac, he's going to face an opponent who will throw punches coming from weird angles.
